It refers to a period of time that existed immediately preceding a significant collapse, ruin, or defeat. The term is often used in historical contexts to describe the state of affairs before a nation, empire, or regime met its demise. It can also be applied to more personal situations, such as the period before a business failed or a relationship ended. The connotation is one of a preceding state that was ultimately unsustainable or marked by underlying issues that led to the subsequent negative event. Understanding the "ennejajärgses" period can offer insights into the causes and contributing factors of the eventual downfall.

The adverb highlights the temporal relationship between a preceding condition and a subsequent negative outcome, emphasizing the lead-up to a collapse.
